Rule for interacting–Don’t forget to “MAKE ME FEEL IMPORTANT”.

Take on challenges with your eyes wide open. Accept and promote the philosophy of “fail early and often” because it is the key to harnessing more self-awareness and encourages feedback that provides the fuel for personal and professional change and growth.

This last bears repeating because it is the closest rule to my heart because it often reminds me of two famous quotes (available in several variations on the Web). First, there is Edison’s quote about failure and inventing the light bulb: “I have not failed, not once. I’ve discovered ten thousand ways that don’t work.” Then there is Frank Lloyd Wright’s insight “You can use an eraser on the drafting table or a sledgehammer on the construction site.”

Take time to recover and be more mindful in living life…

Don’t try to manage “stress” in life accept that life is full of pain, suffering and stress.

How do you go about getting feedback from others which is the lifeblood for growth and development?
